128 Democrats join House GOP to block progressive's bid to impeach Trump
Story by Elizabeth Elkind • 15h

The House of Representatives voted along bipartisan lines to quash a lone progressive lawmaker's bid to impeach President Donald Trump on Tuesday afternoon.

Lawmakers agreed to table the measure, a procedural mechanism allowing House members to vote against consideration of a bill without having to vote on the bill itself.
 
The resolution was offered by Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, who was infamously ejected from Trump's address to a joint session of Congress earlier this year for repeatedly interrupting the president.

Dozens of House Democrats joined Republican lawmakers to kill Green's resolution, a sign of how politically caustic the effort appears to be.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
